A good stop on a visit to Genting Highlands. You can visit the Chin Swee Temple on your way up or down the Awana SkyWay.

The 15 meters tall Buddha Statue











On the drive up or on the gondola you will surely see the 9 storey pagoda.   





Due to limited time we weren’t able to go inside the main temple, you’ll need about an hour to 2 hrs depending on how fast you can climb steps.

There’s a Starbucks on the temple grounds (one level down from the large Buddha statue near the Main temple) 

If stopping by Chin Swee Temple on the way up to the Genting Highlands Resort you get off and exit and go down a few escalators to get to the temple grounds. If you’re stopping from the resort on the way down, you get off then go down one level then cross to the other side then go back up to access the exit to the escalators to the temple grounds.
